In the case of the Tyne Tees Xpress, there is a stop there which can be used. It is used, which has been proven in previous posts by our members on Teesside in the past regarding this bus stop, so I can't see what the issue is with the charge for 3+ Zones?
Testo's Roundabout is on the border of Boldon, which is in the Red Zone, so why shouldn't passengers have to pay for a 3+ Zone day ticket?
I can't see why this would be perceived as anything other than simple - the company gives a zonal map on their website, shows the zonal colours for that service in their timetables, etc...
Exactly - nothing is confusing.
In this case, the pricing structure is simple to understand...
It goes without saying that the company is likely to design their zonal structure in such a way that they generate more profits, but if a customer asks why they have to buy a 3+ Zone ticket on the 8 and not the 78, they're not going to turn round and say that they want more profits, are they?
Completely lost me off Dan.
No idea what you are on about or why you have brought up confusion, points about profits etc. - when all I did was quote a line used by GNE...
